The Utah Jazz said there were nine players they were considering with their No. 9 pick in Thursday’s NBA draft, indicating a willingness to perhaps stay put and select whoever came to them.
Taylor Hendricks arrives before the NBA basketball draft at Barclays Center, Thursday, June 22, 2023, in New York.
Hendricks was one of the biggest risers in the predraft process after a stellar freshman season with the Knights. Hendricks now projects as the team’s successor at power forward to Kelly Olynyk, pairing with Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler as an imposing frontcourt of the future. Given his defensive versatility, Hendricks showed a consistent ability to be switchable one through four at the collegiate level. He played some small-ball five in high school and collegiately, though he likely needs to bulk up to have a chance to do that in the NBA.
